FH55 Hotel Villa Fiesole
When life gives you lemons
Step back in time at this 19th century villa. It oozes Tuscan charm, with elegant rooms adorned with traditional frescoes and menus made up of local delights. Perched up in the Tuscan hills but just minutes from Florence, it’s ideal for those looking for a city-meets-countryside break. When you’re not sauntering through vineyards or posing by landmarks, sip aperitifs on your sun-drenched patio, cool off in the outdoor plunge pool (April to October), indulge in Michelin-star dishes or sit back and relax in the solarium. Whatever you do here, you’ll always be met with a postcard-worthy view.
A luxurious Tuscan escape with panoramic city views, Michelin-star dining and an outdoor plunge pool.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
